Description

Sciatica is a disease of the Lower Back and the Legs.The pain in the lower back that leads to the Legs and is caused by compression of the Sciatic Nerve is Sciatica.It is not a disease itself, but a symptom.Sciatic Nerve originates from the lower back of the Spinal Cord and extends down to the Legs through the buttocks. It is the longest nerve that begins near the spine through the pelvis ans travels down the legs. Pain related to this nerve is Sciatica. If one or more lumbar nerve is subjected to any sort of pressure, it will give rise to the pain in the Sciatic nerve. A number of disorders like displacement of Vertebrae,Slip Disc or Spinal Stenosis may also cause pressure and pain in the Sciatica Nerve.

Sometimes, the inner piriformis muscles of the hips get compressed, it is known as Piriformis Syndrome. The pain may be mild or severe and causes tingling also. Usually the pain goes worse at night.

Sciatica controls the muscles and ligaments at the posterior of the knees and lower legs. It is this nerve that gives feeling to the back of the thigh, the lower legs, and the soles of the feet.

I am 45 years old. I have sciatica pain in my left leg. Some just told me the cause may be gluten. I am not sure. Can you please confirm if Sciatica can be due to Gluten and if so what should I do.

I am Banarsi Lal's brother. I am worried for him. Is it possible that Sciatica is not a problem of the back bone or the nerves, but is in fact due to Gluten or may be any other problem in the muscles and ligaments.

Dear Banarsi Lal and Kishori Lal

Yes, you have heard right. There are some possibilities, that Sciatica may be a result of Gluten Intolerance. Gluten is a protein which is found in Wheat, Oats, Rye and Barley. When a person is sensitive to Gluten, it damages the Intestines. It causes Digestive problems, Celiac Disease, Migraines and Nerve Damage too. For Diagnosis, Please get your test done. And please let us know. What ever the cause is, whether, the Gluten Intolerance or the Nerve damage, we recommend the Treatment accordingly.
